I still dont see the "facelift"? Is it just an engine tune-up?

I am interest in the " double-clutch " transmission option, is that kind of like those on the Ferrari or DSG from VW / AUDI ?

It is rumored to be a "twin clutch" tranny like VW/Audi's DSG, to allow seamless shifts by preselecting the next gear. Ferrari's system is a single clutch, manual gearbox with a robotized clutch

Ferrari anticipates DFI to add significant hp and torque for its upcoming model(s), and it would be expected when Porsche does the same, the same model Turbo we've seen for a year or so at 480hp could easily be 500, just from that change.
